Not a holiday worth having

Review for a Africa Cruise on MSC Splendida

By far our worst holiday experience, a complete waste of money and time. We would have had a better time on land where we catered for ourselves, our first time cruising with #MSC and if this is their standard I would recommend anyone to rather not choose the #MSC Splendida. Not enough space for people in pools, mistakes made by staff caused us to repeatedly go stand in line at reception for ...

I travelled with my dad on Sinfonia Nov 2011 after the passing of my brother. The ship was stranded in Capetown Harbor for most of the trip due to extremely bad weather, however, the experience on the ship was very enjoyable and the staff were amazing. This trip on 8 Dec on MSC Splendida, to Mozambique was a total disaster, from embarkation to end. It was horribly managed. During embarkation, ...

It was one big disappointment. From the embarking right through to dis-embarkment. It took 4 hours to embark and again 4 to disembark. Both our suitcases were damaged, and they just pulled up their shoulders. After throwing my toys completely, they sent someone with cellotape to fix my suitcase... cellotape!!!!???? The ship was totally over crowded - we did not even get close to a pool, let ...

We chose this to celebrate a 60th birthday. We all had to save for a long time so so excited as I had been on board before and loved the whole experience. However unbeknown to us the Op die Water took over there was no entertainment at all in evenings for the English and we were ready to get dressed up every night booked the early dinner so we could go to all the shows etc. so disappointing and I ...

We chose this cruise as we thought it would be a great family holiday. Right from the begining of booking the cruise we were asked to change our date as the cruise we requested had been booked out by a company. Once we chose another date, we could not get a cabin for a family of 4 & were asked if we would have 2 seperate rooms which we declined. After taking it to the MD we got a room for the 4 ...

WORST EXPERIENCE EVER

I've been on the cruise in 2011, which was really good. I thought I will do it again, but was highly disappointed. The no care attitude of the crew, their rudeness, arrogance and incompetency made me to regret that I've ever booked the cruise in the first place. Herewith some of the incidents: a. When I received my confirmation booking, I saw that we were booked for the second dinner ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 40s

It was our first cruise, not only for us as a couple, but for us as a family. Unfortunately, the first, and the last... I will start with the good first... The servers in the Galeone Dining facility was fabulous! Always had a smile and a joke for the kids, probably the highlight of our trip. We visited the kiddies entertainment/play areas. At first we were told that we would have to ...

This was the second cruise on the MSC Sinfonia. The first cruise was amazing but this one was terrible. Book a cruise for my family. When i get on board i see there is a company function happening on board. That was not the problem. Almost the entire cruise there was only afrikaans music playing. I think that was unacceptable. Also staff on the ship where unhelpful and service at restaurants was ...
